I tried upgrading my project to 2018.3.(first public beta) it gave PPTR cast failed errors of bunch. When I click to error to see where it's pointing, it was the models directory or model prefabs directory (not the asset itself), but not for all models I believe, some model prefabs only giving same error over an over.
